Natalia Załuska’s works are located in the
intellectual realm of Minimal Art without their potential being fully tapped here.
Again and again her canvases displays irregularities, ruptures, scrapes,
scratches that disrupt the harmony of a perfect geometry and break the formal
illusionism of an art replete with intact beauty. A dialectics of the
Apollonian and Dionysian emerges, eliciting a feel for the vulnerability of
things and human beings. “Die artist activates the surfaces and creates a
sensual polylogue between the layers of her works,” as Adam Budak writes. “Here
aesthetics is both detached and contrived, soft and violent, minimalist and
neo-baroque.”

In light of contemporary relativisms and
diversities Natalia Załuska’s art could be said to be post-heroic avant-garde
après la lettre. The artist often derives impressions of nature from her formal
repertory, which she then condenses and abstracts to create her primary
structures. Here it is about sensuous variations of a strategically limited
expressive idiom. It is precisely this limitation that opens up new
perspectives of various forms of a relief-like protrusion and infinite
possibilities of linking and violently deconstructing basic geometric figures.

Natalia Załuska’s works create a sensibility
for micro-calibrations of vision: lines, color fields, triangles and gradations
of pastel shades of color merge in variations of repetitions / sequences to
bring forth an aesthetic gesture which reflects a self-contained artistic vision
behind which one can, however, catch glimpses of the demonic mask of Dimitrios.
